Chapter 6: Administering the Application Using MIBs

So far, in this book, we have been creating a Tuxedo configuration file and performing a full cycle that involves loading the configuration, starting the application, and stopping the application. However, Tuxedo also supports changing the configuration of running applications through the Management Information Base (MIB). By using MIBs, applications can be upgraded without any downtime, and the administrator can gain more insight into what and how the application is performing.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Introducing MIB
• Developing multiple versions of the application
• Using tpadmcall to create TUXCONFIG
• Upgrading the servers
• Reconfiguring the application
• Monitoring the application

By the end of this chapter, you will understand how to create the initial configuration programmatically. You will know how to perform basic upgrades and even complicated upgrades with configuration...
